Mark never came back that day and he didn't come back for days...weeks...years. I was utterly devastated, completely heartbroken, confused, and... sad :( I was incredibly sad. I mourned the loss of a boy I grew up with and I missed the boy who had become my best friend, I missed the young man who told me he wanted to be my boyfriend. No one in town knew what had happened to him... some folks saw moving trucks but he was gone, he disappeared without a trace and after that I fell into a deep depression. Although, my first three years of high school went by a blur and I threw into my studies. I would have probably been completely alone if not for my two best friends: Blair and Max. 

Blair:  Twinkle! There you are, we've been calling you. 

Twinkle:  Sorry, I've been, uh, busy reading the coursebook-

Max:  You've read that coursebook 50 times already, senior year doesn't start for another three days! We're going out to celebrate the death of our summer. 

Twinkle:  No thanks. I'm really tired [Yawns]

Blair:  Oh no you don't! We're not taking no for an answer.

Max:  This year is going to be different, Twinkle. We're 18 and now we rule the school! You need to get out of this funk-

Blair:  Seriously. Who cares about whatever his name is! At this point, I doubt he even exists.

Twinkle:  I wonder that all the time... Did I dream of him? Can I really be that crazy?

Blair:  No, you're not crazy BUT you need to get over him, It's been three years.

Twinkle:  I know. I just... I don't know how-

Max:  Well, you can start by going to this party with us :) everyone in our class will be there and we have to end this summer with a bang!

Blair:  Seriously! And you need to talk to some of the guys in our class, practically everyone has a crush on you.

Twinkle:  No, they don't-

Max:  Oh yes they do! Beautiful, smart, unapproachable... You've got the trifecta, girl! I wish the boys would pine for me that way.

Twinkle:  The right one will once he comes along.

Blair:  Yup. That's why we need to party! To meet new guys [Winks] Listen, It's going to be fun, let's start this year off right :) What do you say? 

Twinkle:  [Thinking]  Hmmm.. fine but we have to be home by midnight

Max:  Whatever, Cinderella [Giggles] Now what the heck are you going to wear?

Blair:  And no fooling around, girl. Dress to impress! Max and I want to make a big entrance ;) Are you with us?

Twinkle:  Hmm, Let's see. [Changes]

Blair:  I know you're depressed about this guy, but you certainly don't have to dress like that-

Twinkle:  That's harsh.
